Welcome to the coverage of the final of the eighth edition of the Indian Premier League between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, on Sunday.

Two-time champions CSK were the most consistent team of the season, while Mumbai Indians scripted a remarkable turnaround to enter the final after starting off the tournament with four straight losses.

Table toppers Chennai had lost to second-placed Mumbai Indians by 25 runs in the first qualifier but they won when it mattered the most -- in the second qualifier against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Friday, to make their sixth final appearance in eight attempts.

Fresh from their three-wicket win against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Ranchi, Chennai will be in red hot form while Mumbai Indians, who got a four-day rest after directly advancing into the final, may have to watch out for complacency.

Mumbai will be looking forward to play at the venue where they tasted their maiden success and where their skipper Rohit Sharma had scored an ODI world record 264 against Sri Lanka in November last year.

This will be Mumbai's third final and they had faced the same opponents on both the previous occasions -- in 2010 they had lost to Chennai by 22 runs while in 2013 they won by 23 runs.
